python_app_mac_app_store

python_app_mac_app_store is a Python library. python_app_mac_app_store has no bugs, it has no vulnerabilities, it has build file available and it has low support. You can download it from GitHub.

Note: if you think that you've already got a good understanding of the process of building/codesigning, you can skip to the Running Pyinstaller and Codesigning section, where you can simply run my build script to package your app for the Mac App Store. This guide will walk you through the process of uploading a Python app to the Mac App Store. It is based on my personal experience of struggling to upload an app successfully. One might think that uploading a Python app to the Mac App Store would be easy. After all, Python is one of the most popular languages in the world, and macOS is one of the most popular operating systems. However, complications with app sandboxing and the app signing process make such an endeavour difficult. It is crucial to specify the correct build parameters and entitlements in order for the app to run properly and be accepted by the Mac App Store. Many of the guides on the internet that explain how to do this are outdated, and the process of deploying a Python app has changed significantly since they were written. This guide is intended to be roughly up-to-date and accurate as of October 2022, and uses modern tools and libraries (e.g. Python 3.9, PyInstaller, PySide6). The goal of this guide is to allow you to, at the very least, upload a Python app to the Mac App Store using Transporter. However, just because an app is successfully uploaded through Transporter does not mean it will be accepted by Apple. This guide will not cover the process of getting your app accepted by Apple, which is its own beast. Finally, the app we will upload to the App Store will be a simple Python app that shows "Hello World" in a UI window. This app is meant to be a building block for you to use to build your own app, and as such, I've kept it incredibly barebones and simple.
